They ecos could hire chicken farmers to raise millions of these birds [ or stop killing endangered eagles and condors if their goal was to protect birds ].
Instead, the thieves want our private property.
The other day I had 50 quail in my back yard. I don’t see any problem with just raising a hutch full of sage hens and turning them loose for the neighbors to feed. The damn things are like chickens. They are great to have in the area because they eat all the bugs.
“They ecos could hire chicken farmers to raise millions of these birds...”
Yeah, if they could get people interested in eating the damn things we’d have millions of ‘em.
